Overview

Grapiprant, also known as AT-001 and CJ-023, is a drug from the piprant class. These molecules were derived from acylsulfonamide and are characterized to be a novel series of para-N-acylaminomethylbenzoic acid known to be prostaglandin receptor antagonists. This type of molecules is currently in development for veterinary patients. This class of drugs was defined in 2013 by the World Health Organization. Grapiprant has been approved in March 2016 by the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine as a non-cyclooxygenase inhibiting NSAID for veterinary use.

Indication

The effects of grapiprant have been investigated in the area of analgesia and anti-inflammation due to the effects that have been reported about this molecule. This molecule has been approved and widely accepted to be used in veterinary for pain reduction in arthritis. In humans, it has been researched to be used in the control of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis. The effect of grapiprant can be explained through the function of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) which is a key mediator of swelling redness and pain which are classic signs of inflammation. The effect of PGE2 results from its action through four receptor EP1, EP2, EP3 and EP4 from which the EP4 is the primary mediator of PGE2-driven inflammation.
